02 · About this route
Africa flights from Calgary typically route via London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Dubai, with total travel times of 18-24 hours. Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar, Emirates, Lufthansa, and British Airways are our most-booked carriers to the continent.
For safari and adventure travel, we bundle YYC flights with South Africa, Kenya, or Tanzania packages — including domestic flights to game parks, ranger-led safaris, and Kilimanjaro treks. Group Umrah and Hajj pilgrimage travel is a specialty too.
Visa requirements vary widely. Kenya offers e-visa, South Africa is visa-free for Canadians, but Nigeria, Ghana, and Ethiopia require advance applications. Yellow fever vaccination is required for many countries — we advise on timing.

Typically 18 to 24 hours in total, routing through London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or a Gulf hub. Nairobi and Addis Ababa are usually the quickest to reach; Cape Town and Accra are among the longest. There is no direct service from Calgary to anywhere in Africa.
For many African destinations, yes, and some countries require proof on arrival regardless of where you flew from. The certificate becomes valid only ten days after vaccination, so this needs deciding weeks ahead. We flag the requirement for your specific itinerary when quoting.
It varies widely and changes. South Africa has generally been visa-free for Canadian passport holders, Kenya has used an electronic system, while Nigeria, Ghana, and Ethiopia have required advance applications. We confirm the current position for each country on your route rather than working from memory.
It depends on the country and what you want to see. East African game viewing is generally strongest in the dry months when animals concentrate around water, and the Serengeti and Masai Mara migration follows a seasonal pattern worth planning around. Tell us what you want to see and we will build the dates around it.
Yes. Getting to Nairobi or Johannesburg is the straightforward part; the domestic legs to game parks, the ranger-led safari itself, and the transfers between camps are where the planning matters. We book the whole chain rather than leaving you to assemble it.
We handle Hajj and Umrah as a specialty, and many of those itineraries connect through the same Gulf hubs used for African routings. See our Umrah and Hajj packages for the full service.
